Inquiry stymied on killing of UN soldiers in Lebanon

January 21, 1981

An official investigation int the killing of three Senegalese UN soldiers Monday in South Lebanon has run up against a "wall of silence," a UN spokesman said. "This is one of the most serious incident since UNIFIL [UN Interim Forces in Lebanon] entered from the area in May 1979," he added. The incident climaxed a week of clashes between the Palestine Lib eration Organization and UNIFIL.
